Local families expect to buy more homes in peak season
Marion County households anticipate more buyers as the peak season arrives. Using ABA guidelines, a typical family with average income can afford about 20 000 for a house, based on a 7 900 gross annual income. Higher earners may spend more, while those around 7 000 could spend up to 17 500. Monthly outlays should stay under 20 percent of income. Home values have risen over 8 percent annually, making a new home a hedge against inflation.
